Reverse image search, coupled with following the official Giro stage 2. Having 2 screens simplified it.

Was easy to spot where it could be, but you needed to be careful to find the right "streetview". The one from downtown just showed red walls, no murals.

Google Reverse Image Search is wild.

Search with the whole image: lots of images of fields with red flowers, occasionally a non-professional cyclist. And references to poppy fields.

Using the partial image, cut-off *above* the cyclist: look, it's an image from the time trial in the Giro.

The best #OSINT tool, if trained and used well, is the human brain.

It's still the best at connecting the dots and finding the often hidden pieces of the puzzle...

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute, while saying Quack. Next to a conveyor belt with ammunitions and portaits of Hitler.

If it quacks like a duck, talks like a duck, salutes like a duck...

... it probably is a duck.

We all know what this is and what this means.

A black day in history.
A bleak future.

Simple #OSINT tip for Bluesky.

That round avatar on your profile is actually a bigger square picture. Most of the time at least.

Might reveal more info, if one hasn't been careful...

I did say to look IN the picture. Then again, if the original has disappeared *and* you didn´t save the original one...

Besides OSINT, a lot of #OSINT, #GeoInt, #Socmint, etc., I do a few other side-activities. Instead of silly games, I practice daily with #Duolingo.

I guess I did a lot of Duolingo this year. Particularly proud of my streak: 826 consecutive days of Duolingo.
